"Legends Don't Die" lyrics
They say, "Legends don't die", that means I'm due to live forever
And it costs to be the boss, you can't be scared to put your bread up
Can't be scared to take a risk or two, or go and take a trip or two
It's you that's gotta make it happen, no one's gonna give it you
No one owes you shit, so if they give you suttin, be grateful
And don't rely on no one, cah when they let you down, it's painful
Money, friends and women all got couple things in common
One, they cause you loads of problems, two or three of them ain't faithful
And if you're a good one, you better ride with one
Cah this is Newham where the good ones keep on dying young
Where most the mandem don't know how to fight
That's why they're buying guns
Ain't no one tryna fight, we'd rather put a knife in ya
You've heard 'bout what it's like round here
This shit's been getting treacherous
I made it out the hood but it took longer than expected
'Cause I didn't sell my soul or use no cheat codes just to get here
Plus I never used nobody or I never done no begging
I just went out there and done my thing and never made excuses
Fans tell me, "You're the realest, M, you need to make a movie"
If I do, it'd be like 8 Mile and Get Rich or Die Tryin all in one
And my brother Mazza would have to shoot it
'Cause I keep my business in-house like I'm living with the packs
It's always man that ain't on shit that's always got the biggest mouths
So all you opps that's still alive, you punks have got my kids to thank
'Cause if it wasn't for my kids, I would've already licked you down
You would've already met your maker, that's a fucking fact
I feel the old school Morrisson waking up and coming back
And when I say the old school Morrisson, I don't mean the one that raps
I'm talking 'bout the one that was hanging shotguns out his dusty van
And bun a man, a hundred packs just landed, 'bout to land a hundred more
It's like I fix a hundred problems, I get hit with a hundred more
I survived a hundred wars, death kept knocking at my door
I can't be happy I survived 'cause I got brothers in the floor
I can't be happy that I'm free 'cause I got brothers still in prison
I ain't free until they're free so I can't celebrate my freedom
Was forced to go through Hell and that's what turned us into demons
When deep down, we're decent human beings
Being real got me hated, being alone, it made me stronger
Staying humble kept me hungry, being impatient got me locked up
From I clocked I didn't need no one, that's when I became a problem
Mummy's angel but the ghetto made us monsters
They say, "Legends don't die", that means I'm due to live forever
Kept it solid, never folded under pressure
I was dealt a bad hand, now I'm tryna make it better
Pray for me, I might be gone until November
'Cause legends don't die, that means I'm due to live forever
Kept it solid, never folded under pressure
Got a face that you'd recognise, a name that you'll remember
Zero L's and zero losses, only lessons
They say my words touch their souls when I rap these vocals
I'm just a local lad but I've been trapping global
I don't be posting much on socials 'cause I'm antisocial
I'll be real, ain't tryna get to know you 'less I have to know you
And I ain't tryna leave my house unless I have to
I'm chilling, I ain't tryna be outside unless I have to
And I don't watch the news because it puts me in a bad mood
All the nonsense they be showing us on the TV's to distract you
Before you fix your pockets, fix your head first
We keep our money hidden, we ain't tryna show our net worth
I killed my competition with the cheapest and the best work
I was growing weed so loud in East, they smelled it up in Bedford
I just sit here overthinking till my head hurts
Like I've done enough for them man, now it's time to put myself first
Like tell me what a friend's worth, 'cause if I die today
They'd probably try to fuck my wife and use my funeral to network
Cah they think this life's a cold game, if you're scared of pain then don't play
These demons, they don't go away, it was in my head like Coldplay
They were shooting at me close-range, bullets flying past me
Hitting everything but me, I'm either blessed or they had no aim
I'm known but I've got no mates, under pressure but I won't break
Blowing down a parcel in a car that ain't got no brakes
Don't ask me if I'm okay, we're suffering but we won't say
All this pain, we keep it bottled up like rosé
They say, "Legends don't die", that means I'm due to live forever
Kept it solid, never folded under pressure
I was dealt a bad hand, now I'm tryna make it better
Pray for me, I might be gone until November
'Cause legends don't die, that means I'm due to live forever
Kept it solid, never folded under pressure
Got a face that you'd recognise, a name that you'll remember
Zero L's and zero losses, only lessons
And it costs to be the boss, you can't be scared to put your bread up
Can't be scared to take a risk or two, or go and take a trip or two
It's you that's gotta make it happen, no one's gonna give it you
No one owes you shit, so if they give you suttin, be grateful
And don't rely on no one, cah when they let you down, it's painful
